Southamptonâs Lost Streets â St Maryâs and Golden Grove looks back to a time when the townâs old Victorian streets, with their tightly packed terraces, housed much of the workforce that powered the docks, shipping, railways and local industries. Many of those streets no longer exist, having been cleared away almost 60 years ago, while some remain in name only and are entirely unrecognisable from how they were in times gone by.Through a mixture of images, maps, and details of long standing residents, it is once again possible to have an insight to the past and a view of how things were at a time now almost forgotten.In his previous book, Southamptonâs Chapel Area â A Hundred Years of the Past, he retraced the streets of his youth and now extends those memories further to the long disappeared neighbourhoods of St Maryâs and Golden Grove.
